Features: "Grassroots Youth" ranked first on Sina Net for eight consecutive weeks and was licensed by 33 countries at the Frankfurt Book Fair in October. However, it was not officially published until the Beijing Book Fair in 2004, with an initial print run of 150,000 copies. It records the current state of a specific place—campus—with a unique perspective, capturing how subjective and objective factors of people and society subtly influence it at every moment, giving rise to a series of amusing yet thought-provoking stories. The delicate descriptions, witty language, humor and lightness in despair, and the seemingly cynical depth make people feel a touch of sadness after laughing heartily, allowing them to glimpse into the hearts of college students at the turn of the century.
